Chapter 505: Temptation, Rumors
When Fang Xuanling got this title of His Majesty, he couldn't help but shake his head on his face.
There are not many words, but there are some sighs, since An Xuangong returned to Chang'an, Datang has changed a lot.
Now that Datang can have its current achievements, it can be said that half of it is inseparable from this An Xuangong.
Fang Xuanling has always been a friend who has been biased towards An Xuangong, but that's all.
"How to judge the relationship between different races around Datang and how to choose."
Finally, looking at the topic of this majesty, Fang Xuanling could feel the ambition exposed in it.
It's just that it's too early, even Fang Xuanling doesn't know.
The last time the map of the world was made, it can be said that it has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty over time, and many people are very interested in that map.
In particular, many people from the Central Plains or Jiangnan may have never been to the border in their lives.
But this map makes up for the lack of vision of these people, just like Li Shimin before.
When many people saw this map for the first time, they all showed a trace of shock on their faces, not knowing that the place outside the Tang Dynasty was so vast.
Of course, in addition to that, there is a strong curiosity, and there are many people who want to know what the situation is like in these exotic lands.
Although Shu An gave some basic information, it was not too much, and it was not enough to satisfy the curiosity of these people.
There are also some shrewd people who have written about some of the foreign situations through some merchants or previous experiences in foreign lands.
It was also very popular when it was launched, and some restaurants even used these exotic situations as some anecdotes to tell stories in the restaurants, which also aroused the interest of many scholars.
There are a lot of alien races around Datang, and the same content is naturally very much.
There are even many people who have studied the situation of these surrounding alien races, which has attracted a lot of attention.
The scope of this question from His Majesty is very wide, even Fang Xuanling can only sigh for these examples.
In the past, the topic would have been decent, but not now.
Obviously, the title of this emperor is obviously a temptation, and you must know that this time the marking is the goal of His Majesty.
If you can make this emperor happy, then there will definitely be many opportunities in the future.
On the contrary, it is basically very difficult, even if Fang Xuanling answers this question by himself.
Even Fang Xuanling estimated that he would not be able to please the good face of his majesty, because Fang Xuanling had always been very cautious about these aliens.
Although the title was not revealed, a lot of information about His Majesty's question was also revealed.
Of course, there are true and false news of these news, and the specific situation needs to be judged by everyone.
"Your Majesty may come up with a question about Annan this time."
"No, it should be about the southwest this time."
"There shouldn't be any questions about these two places, and there are a lot of biases in these topics."
.........
Many scholars in Chang'an talked about it, and even fought for it, obviously thinking that they were right.
Of course, there are some people who think of the map, but when they talk about it to the people around them, others don't care.
The reason is simple, because His Majesty has nothing to say about this map.
And although this map of the world was the first to make a sensation in Chang'an, it has nothing to do with that His Majesty.
It's a pity that even if someone guessed it, they still gave up in the end, especially in the surrounding foreign countries.
In such a situation, even if someone wants to fully understand, it is too late.
Of course, this Chang'an guess also spread to the academy.
Anyway, there are a lot of people in the academy, just for this autumn.
Naturally, Shu An also heard a lot of remarks, but Shu An just smiled slightly.
"I didn't expect that emperor to come up with such a question."
Shu An thought silently, although he didn't deliberately ask, there were many flaws in Fang Xuanling's mansion.
In such a situation, it was not difficult for him to understand, and of course he did not have any idea of saying anything to these students.
Shu An is reluctant to use such an unfair method, he has always hated unfair competition.
Originally, Shu An was more interested in watching the excitement, but he didn't expect that things seemed to be getting interesting.
Obviously, this emperor is a little unwilling to be lonely, and wants to test the attitude of many scholars in the court.
Of course, the most effective way is also this question, depending on how these scholars answer.
It is important to know that the best of these people are likely to stand above the court in the next few years, or even ten years.
There is also the standard of ministers in the court, and this time Li Shimin is obviously prepared.
According to the news that came out, the people who scored this time were Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and finally Kong Yingda.
It can be said that the three of them represent the thoughts of more than half of the people above the court, and Fang Xuanling needless to say, he can be regarded as a more resourceful person.
Although Li Jing's words should not be read when he is the secretary of the Ministry of War, it stands to reason that he should not read the papers, but Li Shimin is not an ordinary person.
As for Kong Yingda's words, it can be said that they represent the ideas of Confucian scholars, of course, the Confucian scholars here are all those scholars who stick to Confucian rules.
Similar to the current Shu An, as well as Du Ruhui and others, they cannot be completely regarded as Confucian students.
Shu An is not worried about Kong Yingda getting in the way, the reason is very simple, on the one hand, the name is closed.
On the other hand, Li Shimin is concerned, if Kong Yingda dares to make some small moves, then the Kong family will definitely be enough to wash away his reputation.
And interestingly, all three have to mark each paper, which is based on the total score of the three people.
It can be said that this is somewhat similar to the methods of later generations, but there is still something new in this era.
Last year, although the emperor attached great importance to the imperial examination, he was entangled in many things.
For example, the matter of the border pass, so it has not changed too much in the imperial examination, but this year's words are obviously menacing, and the things about the imperial examination have obviously changed a lot.
However, the imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty, and if Li Shimin changes, he will not be impeached, because it is easy to solve the problem in one sentence.
Am I not as good as Yang Guang?!
In the matter of the imperial examination, Li Shimin has the absolute initiative.
Of course, the system is also very fair, these three people don't represent three biases, even if the scores are different, there are always high and low.
